I just inherited an IBM mainframe with peripherals.  I'm not
familiar with IBMs, having always used DEC equipment before.
If anyone has experience with the equipment listed below I'd
really appreciate your thoughts on what to do with it.  What
are its strengths and weaknesses?  Should I sell this stuff, 
junk it?

I have two each of the following:
IBM		4955	CPU
IBM		4959	Expansion Unit
IBM		4962	Disk Storage Unit
IBM		4963 	Disk Storage Unit
IBM		4974	Printer
IBM		4997	Rack Enclosure
IBM		4973	Line Printer

Thanks for any ideas!

A planter is always festive.  And so much more original than an old tire.
